Oklahoma starts this Saturday with a pale blue sky stretching over Oklahoma City as a crisp wind moves across open fields and quiet neighborhoods. Pavement feels cool under a thin layer of early-morning haze, hinting at thicker clouds forming to the west. Anyone traveling home after the holiday stretch should stay alert because conditions may shift quickly by afternoon.
Temperatures rise toward the mid-50s as sunshine filters through increasing high clouds. Meteorologists now track a developing disturbance lifting into the southern Plains—a pattern that often marks an early Winter Tease before colder December air settles next week. Models hint at moisture pushing in after midday, bringing a growing chance for showers. Travelers along I-35 and I-40 should plan extra time because scattered showers may reduce visibility and create slick spots on exit ramps.
By late afternoon, the rain chance strengthens. The National Weather Service highlights a 60–80% chance of showers into the evening. Winds increase from the south near 18 mph, with gusts close to 28 mph. That wind may work loose leaves across roadways and nudge lighter vehicles on open stretches. To be fair, severe weather looks unlikely today, but fast-moving cells can still surprise drivers. Keep rain gear ready if you’re moving around city centers or stadium areas.
Sunday brings calmer weather, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 37°. Monday grows chilly with clouds returning and a slight chance of showers. Tuesday warms again into the mid-40s with sunshine, and Wednesday trends even brighter. Still, national winter guidance shows below-normal temperatures spreading into the central U.S. between December 2–6, signaling a deeper early-winter pattern building soon.
